    Q. Ayca, tell us about your background.

    A. Born in Turkey, I had lived there until 26. For the past 11 years I’ve been living in The Netherlands. I have an 8 year old son, Leon.

    When I was younger, I wanted to be a simultaneous interpret-er, a professional musician or a scientist; but could never choose one and leave out the rest. After studying several lan-

    guages, learning to play instruments as a hobby, and getting myself a decent business degree (securing my future so-to-speak), I am back to exploring my own self, ac-knowledging my questions about the world, finding out what I personally need in or-der to be able to answer those questions, and going and learning how to do it. That's how I ended up at the center of cognitive psychology, learning cutting-edge tech-niques in brain research. I feel like a kid in a candy store!

    Q. How did you hear about Transformational Breath®? How was that experience?

    A. When my son was a baby, I noticed that he sometimes held his breath. Like any new mother, I looked it up on the internet and searched information about breathing patterns. At the same time I heard about a new kind of self-development tool that a friend of mine was practicing in Turkey, besides yoga. I came across the name Trans-formational Breath several times. So I had to look it up and see what it was. When I went on the website and started reading the benefits of doing Transformational Breath, I felt that it was something I needed to do. So without thinking twice I regis-tered for a week seminar, which was going to be in Turkey, booked my flight and went there, without even having had one breath session before.

    During that week, at the end of every day of having breath sessions, I thought, "Wow!" I felt free, I felt a connection with everyone and everything.

    THRIVE with TORUSTHRIVE with TORUSTHRIVE with TORUS

    by Judith Kravitz

    About a year ago I was introduced to an incredible and revealing documentary film called, Thrive, by Foster Gamble, heir to the Gamble empire. Instead of taking the cushioned establishment path, Gamble and his wife undertook a risky and needed journey into researching the mysteries of why in such an expansive and thriving universe are humanity and the earth in such a state of deterioration. Not only do they go over and evaluate the possibilities of renewable energy, but trace the money, food, and medical systems that have influenced us as a race.

    Thrive is not another doomsday movie but a film that gives us great hope and awareness of how we can, through self-generating renewable energy systems, turn our journey around from our downward spiral to an upward one and realize our full potential, thrive, and live fully on planet Earth.

    One can clearly see the time, commitment and re-sources it took to bring forth such an important and professional work for us to move forward at this critical time in human history.

    Over and over again, Thrive gives us historic examples of the pattern of unlimited energy movement and sourcing throughout the universe, (called the Torus)

    After repeated viewings, I began to notice how our breathing could be modeled in a similar way and began, with guidance and intuition, playing with and creating a "Torus Breath", a Breath which allows our life force to flow and be enhanced with the universal pattern of un-limited energy.

    The Torus Breath came to me in two phases, both of which I practiced extensively and have had amazing experienc-es with.

    Phase I: The breath and the image is to be practiced for at least a week to establish an open path for the energy to move. Phase II: Is to be the final permanent version to per-form daily.

    Transformational Breath® E-News

    I find myself transported and energized in a very unique way when I do the Torus Breath and also feel immediately lifted into a higher space. It gives me great pleasure to share this new prototype of Transformational Breath, breathing with you all and to continue, honor and support the work that the Gambles have done.

    In Loving Service, Judith

    TORUS BREATH

    The Position

    We begin seated or lying in a comfortable breathing posi-tion. Then we start breathing while envisioning ourselves either: (1) standing up straight with feet planted firmly on the floor, head facing forward, relaxed and tilted slightly forward, or (2) see ourselves sitting up, spine straight with our legs crossed in front of us.

    Next hold this vision of ourselves inside of a big energy "doughnut", so that it completely surrounds us and covers our entire body with us comfortably in the center.

    PHASE I

    Part 1: the "In" Breath

    We will begin by inhaling (using our diaphragm) through our nose and then seeing an energy streaming into our crown chakra, then as we continue to inhale seeing that same energy/light going down around the complete outside of the doughnut surrounding us until it reaches the bottom of our body and begins to circle under either our feet or our tailbone if we are sitting down.

    Part 2: the "Out" Breath

    We exhale through the nose and envision as we exhale the light or energy around the base of the doughnut coming directly and quickly up throughout our entire body and up through the crown chakra. Where some of the energy goes up into the universe and some of it gathers around the top

    wanted to share this with all my friends and family. After that week, when I came back home, feeling like a lighter version of me, my relationships changed, things at work changed. All of a sudden I dared to speak up and explore my own potential. I saw things differently, thought differ-ently. At work I started getting more challenging responsi-bilities. Although I had a great job at an exceptionally good company surrounded by exceptionally wonderful people I

    stopped and asked myself what it is that I really want to do in life, what is my pas-sion. I have an inquisitive mind. I had many questions about the behavior of hu-mans. So I quit my job and started studying Psychology from scratch. Within the next three years I got a

    Bachelor's degree in Psychology, did a minor in Brain & Cog-nition and completed all the trainings of Transformational Breath. At the moment, I'm doing a Cognitive Neuroscience Research Master studying under possibly the best cognitive scientists in the world. My colleagues are remarkably gifted and friendly. We have an excellent lab testing amazing par-adigms. I feel blessed having the opportunity to do what I love.

    Q. We understand that you have completed some original peer-reviewed research at Leiden University in The Nether-lands. Tell us about that.

    A. We have done scientific experimental research on the effects of different types of meditation techniques on crea-tivity. The original premise was to find out the differences in the results between focused meditation vs. non focused (or open-monitoring meditation). We tested subjects who prac-ticed both focused meditation and Transformational Breath. We found that Transformational Breath enhances divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is the most important ingredient of creativity. It refers to the process of gener-ating new ideas, alternative solutions to an open-ended problem, thinking out-of-the-box, seeing connections and associations and coming up with unique ideas. A breath session of half an hour was enough to enhance perfor-mance significantly on creativity tasks, which is remarkable. After a vigorous peer-review, our findings have now be-come part of scientific literature.

    (For more detail, here is a link to the article. To down-load the full article, press on PDF.) www.frontiersin.org/Cognition/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00116/abstract

    Transformational Breath is an open monitoring system, vs. a focused meditation system. What we found is that in less than ½ hour of session, divergent thinking is en-hanced, which is associated with creativity, finding al-ternative solutions to a problem, original thinking and generating new ideas. We have found that in a short amount of time with Transformational Breath such a brain state was reached which increased these perfor-mances. This has far reaching interest and applications, from the scientific world as well as spiritual groups. Cre-ativity and solving problems is relevant for everyone regardless of what they do. Immediately after our find-ings were published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Cognition, our article received an enormous amount of attention from around the world: from local and foreign media to hundreds of Twitter messages within just a couple of days, from numerous private blogs to internet forums.

    Q. What future research are you considering in your field?

    A. I have many questions about human behavior. Espe-cially the differences between individuals regarding how their brains work in such ways to influence how they process information, how they perceive the world, manifest their own reality and ultimately how they be-have. People act and react in such different ways, it is fascinating to investigate where these differences come from. These findings help us generate and support knowledge which we can apply in order to test external modalities to enhance human potential. We found that Transformational Breath increases creativity through facilitating divergent thinking. Based on this finding and other scientific literature, we have come up with many other paradigms to research in the coming years. We are already working on the design of an extensive pro-

    ject that I’m planning to do in the next couple of years. I will be investigating the effects of Transformational Breath and other techniques using various methods such as EEG (electroencephalography) where we will measure the electri-cal activity of the brain from the scalp and analyse brain waves; fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) where we will investigate changes in neural activity by imaging the brain; DNA analysis; diverse cognitive mental tasks; behav-ioral measurements; and physiological measures. We're ap-plying for a financial grant to make all this scientific research possible. Even in this economic crisis, I am confident that such important and relevant topics will be supported.

    We are very excited to continue to learn more about how Transformational Breath and other modalities influence brain mechanisms, how we think and experience events, our reality. We are coming up with new paradigms to measure how the brain functions, and how applications like Transfor-mational Breath can re-configure mental processing.

    Q. Share with us your vision of Transformational Breath® around the world.

    A. I can see that one day practicing Transformational Breath and other modalities will be the 'normal' mainstream way. It is crazy that these applications are considered alternative whereas they truly are the easiest, and the most efficient ways to influence human cognition.

    PHASE II

    Part 1: the "In" Breath

    We will begin by inhaling (using our dia-phragm) through our nose and then seeing an energy streaming into our crown chakra, then as we continue to inhale seeing that same energy/light going down around the complete outside of the doughnut sur-rounding us until it reaches the bottom of our body and begins to circle under either our feet or our tail-bone if we are sitting down.

    Part 2: the "Out" Breath

    We exhale through the nose and envision as we exhale the light or energy around the base of the doughnut coming di-rectly and quickly up throughout our entire body, when it reaches the point on the top of our head, the points on each side criss-cross over the crown and begin the inhale on the opposite side getting ready to fully cycle around the dough-nut again on the next inhale.

    Then up the center again on the exhale and criss-crossing. We would keep this vision going as we continue breathing in a connected fashion. At some point we will feel the breath and image continuing on their own.

    *Ed. Notes: Note that the THRIVE movie is controversial. It has engendered heated discussion and open, and even per-sonal, attacks from all sides, among others, the political right as liberal propaganda, or other times from progres-sives as wild conspiracy. We do not endorse everything in this movie but certainly honor the eye-opening contributions of such people as Deepak Chopra, Vandana Shiva, Amy Goodman and others. It is a polarizing effort, but we can choose what resonates with us. I have used the positive as an inspiration for Torus Breath.

    Heart Palpitations

    Q. A Client is having heart palpitations after a session. Any explanation?

    A. I have a two-part answer to this question. First, increased cardio activity is common at the end of a session - our work is exercise after all - however, the increase is not necessarily something we are striving for. But such client concerns re-garding the heart must be looked at further.

    As we teach in our Level IV training, such feelings of palpita-tion are likely due to an imbalance in the flow of energy dur-ing (and after) the session. It is perhaps the upper chest area not opening and flowing, this might cause a needless strain on the heart. The same may occur if she were breathing only in the upper chest but not using her diaphragm to breathe into her belly.

    If breathing in her upper chest is something relatively new then it could be her awareness in that area becoming strong-er. At the end of the session do what you can to help balance and smooth the energy flow. For instance, hold her feet until the pulses are synchronized, and end with some connected nose breathing. But most importantly, do what is possible to make sure there is an open flow of the breath throughout the respiratory system and an uninterrupted flow between the inhale and exhale.

    The second point to make, is that this is the heart we are talking about. We must understand more of her experience and how to work with such concerns from a medical per-spective as well as with technique. 1- What type of palpitation are we looking at? Is it skipping beats (arrhythmia) or faster heart beat (tachycardia)? 2- Does normal exercise induce such a condition with client? If not, it is likely poor flow. Do palpitations occur sometimes for no apparent reason? If yes, there may be a deeper con-cern. 3- What is the client's baseline? You can always take a pulse before the session. Do some kundalini movement as we do before a session (4 minutes), check the pulse right after and then after 20 minutes rest. Any symptoms? Does the heart rate / pattern return to normal? 4- If nothing irregular is noticed after that 20 minute rest, then you can proceed into a full session with the techniques we describe above. Check symptoms again post-session.

    5- Reading the question, I have no idea of the following: What types of medication does client take? What about caffeine and tobacco habits? What is her base stress level in her life? Fitness level? Are there known adrenal or thyroid conditions? Weight problems? 6- What other symptoms are present with the palpita-tions? Dizziness? Near blackouts? Pain?

    Proper breathing will not cause palpitations but still facilitators need to consider if there is a pre-existing condition that the breath session is merely making ob-vious. The client may have palpitations caused by ad-renal fatigue, anemia, even pregnancy, but worst case, it could be a valve or related heart issue which requires proper medical care. If there is any doubt remaining, have them visit their physician. Birthing

    Q. Hi Judith, I've been asked to help with a birth and was wondering if you could connect me with anyone that has used Transformational Breath with birthing that might be able to give me some tips since I haven't done this be-fore. Thanks, Steff

    A. Dear Steff, With eight children I have a bit of experience in this area but I have also coached breathing in over 10 births and learned the following.

    1) Use the connected breathing in conjunction with the contractions. To breathe during the contractions is to integrate the intensity of the contractions; then rest in between contractions. 2) To breathe along with the woman in labor to help her stay focused and keep the rhythm of the breath. 3) To encourage her to tone dur-ing the pushing stage, with deep long inhales and ton-ing and pushing on the exhale.

    It is incredible how natural and helpful using the breathing that way can be during the birthing process. As opposed to the traditional Lamaze where the tech-nique is to blow the exhale where the stomach, abdo-men and lower body contract, versus relaxing into the

    Food Labels

    Small victory for people’s health!

    Industry pumped money into a campaign to al-low them to label High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) as Corn Sugar.

    U.S. FDA said, NO. Industry ignored them. Now industry has to label HFCS truthfully. It would be nice if it were not in our food at all, but this is a start.

    The greater issue is the right to always know what IS in our food. GMOs? Antibiotics? Hor-mones? Is my food irradiated? Grown with sew-age sludge as fertilizer? Get to know your food!

  • integrative breathing we do in Transformational Breath. The Lamaze breathing is a perfect way to achieve true hyperven-tilation by lowering the CO2 (this is, of course, the result of forcing the exhale). Labor seems to go faster with more effective contractions utilizing Transformational Breath be-cause the woman is able to relax and surrender into the process.

    I hope that this is helpful. Please let me know how it goes. It is truly an amazing experience and gift and a wonderful way to use Transformational Breath. Love and hugs, Judi
